AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY 747 AM EDT TUE JUN 9 2009 .SYNOPSIS... A FRONT WILL LIKELY REMAIN TO OUR SOUTH THROUGH THURSDAY...AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS ANCHORED OVER SOUTHEAST CANADA...RIDGING DOWN INTO THE NORTHEASTERN STATES. WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE WILL RIDE ALONG IT. THE FIRST LOW PASSES SOUTH OF THE TRI-STATE TODAY INTO TONIGHT...WITH A SERIES OF LOWS AFFECTING THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS IN FOR THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH LIFTS FROM THE GREAT LAKES THIS MORNING INTO WESTERN QUEBEC TODAY. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE TAKES A SIMILAR TRACK...WHILE HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY SLIDES FROM NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES. ITS ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT...JUST SE OF THE REGION THIS MORNING...WILL LIKELY HAVE TROUBLE MOVING MUCH FARTHER NE TODAY WITH COOL WATERS...WEAK LOW-LEVEL WINDS AND FAR INTERIOR TRACK OF LOW PRESSURE. WILL LEAN TOWARDS LESS PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT OF THE WARM FRONT AS DEPICTED BY THE NAM...KEEPING REGION IN MORE STABLE LOW-LEVELS. COMBINATION OF EASTERLY UPSLOPE LOW-LEVEL FLOW...MARGINAL ELEVATED INSTABILITY...MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE FORCING...AND PWATS AROUND 1 3/4 INCHES ALLOWING FOR MODERATE TO HEAVY RA/TSRA ACTIVITY EARLY THIS MORNING...WHICH WILL TRANSLATE E THROUGH THE MORNING. BEST CHANCE OF TSRA ACROSS SW ZONES WITH BEST ELEVATED INSTABILITY...WANING TO THE NE. WOULD EXPECT HEAVIER SHOWER ACTIVITY TO END FROM W TO E THROUGH THE LATE MORNING/AFTERNOON AS NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE TROUGH PIVOTS NE. BUT WITH WEAK SURFACE LOW/TROUGH HANGING TO THE WEST...WARM FRONT SW OF THE AREA...AND CONTINUED LOW-LEVEL UPSLOPE ONSHORE FLOW...WOULD EXPECT A CHANCE OF LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY AND DRIZZLE TO CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON. WITH CLOUDS...ONSHORE FLOW...AND SHOWER/DRIZZLE ACTIVITY TEMPS WILL LIKELY HOLD IN THE 60S ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION...PERHAPS SOME LOWER 70S ACROSS NY/NJ METRO. LEANING TOWARDS COOLER NAM NUMBERS...SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW SEASONABLE. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/... UNSETTLED THROUGH THE PERIOD. SPLIT UPPER FLOW TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...GIVING WAY TO A SLOW APPROACH OF WEAKLY PHASED SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE ENERGY WED NIGHT INTO THURS. NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE PIVOTS INTO CANADIAN MARITIMES TONIGHT...WHILE SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE AMPLIFIES OFF MID-ATLANTIC COAST TONIGHT INTO WED. THIS WILL LIKELY HAVE WEAK SURFACE LOW PRESSURE...WEST OF THE REGION TODAY...TRANSLATING SOUTH OF REGION TONIGHT INTO WED AS SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE SLIDES OFFSHORE. THE SURFACE WARM FRONT WILL LIKELY CONTINUING TO SIT JUST SOUTH OF THE REGION AS HIGH PRESSURE HOLDS ON OVER THE CANADIAN MARITIMES...PROVIDING ONSHORE FLOW AND CAD INTO THE REGION. WITH WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT FROM ONSHORE FLOW AND MOIST LOW LEVELS...WILL LIKELY SEE CONTINUE SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY AND AREAS OF DRIZZLE AND FOG ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT THROUGH WED EVE. TEMPS RUNNING BELOW SEASONABLE ON WED IN ONSHORE FLOW AND CLOUDS/DRIZZLE. UPPER FLOW CONSOLIDATES TO SOUTHWESTERLY WED NIGHT AHEAD OF WEAKLY PHASED NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE ENERGY. THIS WILL LIKELY HAVE A SERIES OF WAVES APPROACHING THE REGION ALONG THE WARM FRONT. THE FIRST OF WHICH LOOKS TO APPROACH LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT FROM THE OHIO VALLEY...WITH SUBSEQUENT WAVES THROUGH FRIDAY. QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY EXISTS IN THE TRACK OF THE WAVES AND EVENTUAL CONSOLIDATION INTO MAIN LOW PRESSURE. THIS WILL HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON INSTABILITY AND QPF. NONETHELESS...WITH ASSOCIATED MID AND LOW- LEVEL FORCING AND ABUNDANT MOISTURE TO WORK WITH...WIDESPREAD SHOWER ACTIVITY IS LIKELY DURING THIS TIME. AT LEAST MARGINAL ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND FORCING WILL PRESENT THE POSSIBILITY OF EMBEDDED ELEVATED TSTMS ACTIVITY. IF THE WARM FRONT CONTINUE TO STRADDLE THE AREAS WITH THE SURFACE WAVES TRACKING IN CLOSE VICINITY OF THE REGION...PWATS COULD APPROACH 2 INCHES. THIS WOULD BRING THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING LATE WED NIGHT INTO THURS NIGHT. WILL ADDRESS LOW-END FLASH FLOOD THREAT IN HWO AT THIS TIME. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. NEXT WEEKEND STILL LOOKS GENERALLY DRY AND FAIR...BUT STILL DO NOT SEE A PROLONGED PERIOD OF BENIGN WEATHER IN SIGHT. HAVE ONCE AGAIN LEANED HEAVILY ON HPC GUIDANCE. THIS SCENARIO WILL TRACK ONE OR A SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE WAVES FROM THE OHIO VALLEY TO THE NEW ENGLAND COAST THU NIGHT THROUGH FRI. THE JURY STILL REMAINS OUT WHETHER THE LOCAL AREA IS ABLE TO WARM SECTOR DUE TO UNCERTAINTY WITH THE EXACT LOW TRACK...BUT THERE COULD AT LEAST BE ELEVATED INSTABILITY PRESENT THU NIGHT SO HAVE INCLUDED SLIGHT CHANCE TSTMS DURING THIS TIME. RAIN CONTINUES INTO FRI MORNING...TAPERING OFF DURING THE AFTERNOON. POTENTIAL FOR URBAN FLOODING IS PRESENT. HAVE KEPT THE WEEKEND DRY ALTHOUGH TROUGHINESS REMAINS ACROSS THE EASTERN US. NO REAL SHORTWAVES IN THE FLOW UNTIL SUN NIGHT/MON WHEN CHANCE POPS RETURN. TEMPS SHOULD BE RIGHT AROUND NORMAL LEVELS...EXCEPT FOR THU NIGHT AND FRI...WHERE ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER AND RAIN WILL KEEP IT SLIGHTLY WARMER THU NIGHT AND SLIGHTLY COOLER ON FRI. && .AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... IFR TO LIFR CEILINGS GENERALLY THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD AS STRATUS REMAINS WITH AN EASTERLY FLOW AHEAD OF A WARM FRONT. VISIBILITIES WILL LIKELY REMAIN MVFR. SOLID LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INTO THE TERMINALS AT THE START OF THE FORECAST PERIOD WILL MOVE THROUGH THE EASTERN TERMINALS 17Z TO 18Z...HEAVY RAIN WITH VISIBILITIES IFR. THERE MAY BE SOME IMPROVEMENT IN CEILINGS TO MVFR FOR SEVERAL HOURS THIS AFTERNOON. THEN WITH THE WARM FRONT REMAINING SOUTH AND A CONTINUED EASTERLY FLOW CEILINGS WILL LOWER BACK TO IFR TO LIFR WITH MVFR TO IFR VISIBILITIES IN DRIZZLE AND FOG. OUTLOOK FOR 12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY... WED AND WED NIGHT...IFR CEILINGS AND MVFR TO IFR VISIBILITIES IN FOG...LIGHT RAIN AND DRIZZLE. THU AND FRI...SUB-VFR LIKELY WITH RAIN AND CHANCE OF TSTMS. FRI NIGHT-SAT...VFR. && .MARINE... HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF NEW ENGLAND WITH WEAKENING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES TODAY INTO TONIGHT WILL KEEP WINDS AND SEAS BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS. SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON THE AREA WATERS. TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT VISIBILITIES WILL LIKELY BE REDUCED IN DRIZZLE AND FOG WITH A LIGHT EASTERLY FLOW. LOW PRESSURE DEEPENING OVER THE WATERS THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY WILL LIKELY INCREASE SEAS ON THE OCEAN TO MINIMAL SMALL CRAFT LEVELS. WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHEAST BUT ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW 25 KT. DEPENDING ON THE STRENGTH AND TRACK OF THIS LOW THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY A SCA MAY BE NEED ON THE WATERS. OTHERWISE WINDS AND SEAS WILL AGAIN BE BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. && .HYDROLOGY... AN ADDITIONAL 1/2 TO 1 INCH QPF POSSIBLE THIS MORNING...LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS IN CONVECTION. ADDITIONAL SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL POSSIBLE FROM LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR OVER 1 INCH OF RAINFALL. GIVEN RECENT RAINFALL...THERE COULD BE SOME CONCERNS WITH FLOODING DEPENDING UPON HOW MUCH RAIN ACTUALLY FALLS. WILL ADDRESS THE LOW END FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL IN HWO FOR NOW. && .OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...NONE. NY...NONE. NJ...NONE.
